    Aftermarket axles?????

    Anyone running aftermarket axles or a combo of oem parts to equal stronger axles?

    Im tired of breaking axles at this point. I am having problems finding axles too.

    Any input would be great. Thanks

    I ran OEM axles all last year on 500+whp with no issues...drag racing and plenty of daily driven miles. Just upgraded to RSX-S 5 lug w/axles for more wheel choices and currently no issues :)

    I had the DSS 2.9s also and had problems with them. Boots splitting and throwing out all the grease and then of course the cv joints started to go. The DSS axles are now my spares and I am running on Autozone replacement axles.
